293675 2004-11-18 23:41:00 Hi TEam
I had my local pc shop put a 2.0 usb card into my pc.
he left the original slower board in the machine and I think this is interfering with me loading my digital camera drivers therein.
could this be so?
when I plug my camera in no instruction comes on screen eg: new device found. and I cant get the drivers to run.
any suggestions?

293677 2004-11-19 00:23:00 It may pay you to look in Device Manager. You should see under Universal Serial Bus controllers both the original USB1 and the new USB2 controllers.

In my case I have Via Rev5 USB controllers for the onboard USB1, and NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller installed from the CD that came with the USB2 PCI card.
Both work when a device is plugged in

Maybe the shop didnt install properly? Can you query it with them?

I ended up formatting my pc hdd (very drastic) now I can load my camera in but!!... my screen resolution is locked on 16 colours and biiiggg fonts, frames etc. Please, sorry to be a nuisance but how can I get 256 colours back? I only have a choice of two now on my display!

293680 2004-11-20 01:47:00 Download the drivers from the videocard maker's site. Install them. That'll fix the colours. Spacemannz (808)
